David Cronenberg directs Peter Weller as a cockroach exterminator who experiments with injecting his own bug powder. After a series of bizarre events, he flees to Interzone, a nightmarish realm run by bureaucrats whose power is linked to a rare drug. The exterminator's mental health disintegrates under the influence of the drug, until he fights back by coming to terms with his own sexuality and creative drive.

Based on the novel by William S. Burroughs.
